Show your child the various clothing items you have gathered. Talk about dressing for cold weather and how cold-weather clothing such as sweaters coats, jackets, and boots have different kind of fasteners. Hold up the clothing items one at a time and ask your child questions about each time, such as “How would you fasten this coat?” or “What are these things on the sweater called?…Yes, they’re called snaps.” Then have your child put on the clothing items and practice fastening the different kinds of fasteners.

Hi Laurie, I think it’s a great learning opportunity when you have a grown-up showing little how to dress for the weather. As always, have adult supervision during the entire time. Thank you and have fun!
